Research Interests:

The Tervo-Clemmens (TC) lab aims to understand normative brain development and the emergence of mental health and substance use disorders (as well as their co-occurrence) during adolescence, integrating techniques from developmental, computational, and clinical neuroscience.

We are also engaged in methodological work aiming to evaluate and improve the reproducibility and ultimately, clinical and policy utility, of large-scale fMRI and behavioral assessments in neurodevelopmental studies.
